Small Garden Design Done Right

Let’s talk about small gardens, because the reality is, most of us aren’t working with rolling acres. This particular space is 10 by 10 metres, almost identical in size to your average new build rear garden. But instead of defaulting to a central lawn and a polite ring of planting around the edge, we turned the whole idea inside out. The seating area sits boldly in the centre. Two decks overlapping and shifting into one another, with stepped levels to embrace the garden’s natural slope (the back sits slightly higher than the front). The philosophy to embrace is go big or go home. Big leaves. Big structure. Big personality. We’ve painted the fences black to blur the boundaries and let the planting shine, and then filled the space with bold layers. A mature cherry tree provides height and shade, while Trachycarpus fortunei gives us that tropical upright drama. Heptacodium miconioides frame the entrance beautifully, drawing you in like a gateway to something special. The ground cover is a tapestry of texture; generous hostas, smoky Sambucus, and one of my all-time favourites, the flowing Hakonechloa macra. This garden proves that small doesn’t mean simple, and compact doesn’t mean compromise. With a little confidence, you can turn your plot into a personal paradise packed with personality. #smallgarden #gardendesign #compactspaces #modernplanting #gardeninspiration #boldfoliage #gardenlayout #hakonechloamacra #trachycarpus #plantinglayers #englishgarden
